New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Full Time Men share "High On Drugs," the third single from their forthcoming album, Part Time Job, out October 27 on Yep Roc Records. Available on CD, Digital, and Limited Edition LP formats, Part Time Job marks the first time the band's illustrious catalog is available on CD or digital platforms.
First released by Coyote Records in 1988 on the band's full-length album, Your Face My Fist, "High On Drugs" is one of the most hard rocking songs in the band's catalog. High-powered vocals and guitar feedback increase in intensity to the very end of this ripper that features an all-star lineup including Keith Streng (The Fleshtones),
Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Dave Faulkner (The Hoodoo Gurus), the late Pat Dinizio (The Smithereens) and Chris Clements.
In the mid-to-late '80s, Full Time Men was a part time venture of Fleshtone Keith Streng (guitar and lead vocals) that featured
Gordon Spaeth (sax, harp), Robert Warren (bass, vocals), and Bill Milhizer (drums), all full time members of New York's Fleshtones, along with Rich
Thomas (lead guitar, vocals) from LESR (Lower East Side Rockers).
This compilation of the band's material includes special guests Clem Burke (Blondie),
Peter Zaremba (Fleshtones), Pat DiNizio (Smithereens), Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus), Stiv Bators, Jeff Connolly, Scott McCaughey, and
Peter Buck.
